Empowering People
Career Pathways
Career Pathways is an enhanced workforce training program designed to prepare and connect job seekers with in-demand careers. By helping adults create financial stability and economic mobility, Second Harvest is addressing a root cause of hunger and reducing the number of people who need food assistance.
Career Pathways offers two tracks to prepare job seekers for employment: culinary training and customer service. The program offers skills training, career readiness support and connections with local employers. Together, these opportunities help build stable careers and create pathways for people to thrive.
Each cohort includes foundational workplace skills such as time management, teamwork and communication, financial literacy and conflict resolution. The culinary track features hands-on, specialized training in a commercial kitchen. While in the program, participants receive wrap-around support, connecting them with resources to assist their career journey.
